pokemon nowadays have way more personality than they did before, not only that, but they display greater biological knowledge and diversity, shit like mareanie and toxapex, or shit like lurantis, there are a ton of cool animals that are getting pokemon designs and I think its great, and most of them are comptently designed, with a few duds now and then, but thats just me

This, but unironically.

Anyway, what are the odds that this Pokemon Switch thing is a fully 3D (behind the back) mainline title?

The problem with Pokemon isn't that the new designs are worse, it's that the game design hasn't even changed.

It's that they've remade the same game a total of like 15 times. The first couple were cute, "Oh it's a Sentret instead of a Ratata, a Hoothoot instead of a Pidgey", but now it's just disgusting. Every game has it's Ratata and it's Pidgey, and so on and so on, and I don't understand how anyone isn't sick of the same formula over and over each generation.
Only way I'd buy another is if they made one with plenty of pokemon from all regions, rather than mainly having the new ones in the new games almost exclusively until post. There's more actual variation between COD games than successive Pokemon gens.

No you can't.

You can say that there are animal inspired mons in every gen. You can't say that the bulk of newer mons are animal inspired; and the reliance on just making some animal into a humanoid has become commonplace.

I can forgive the ultrabeast designs, they're supposed to be some eldritch looking shit; but there are too many pokemon in the last 3 generations that look like people in animal masks or that simply look like nothing in particular.

Yes, you can. Tell me which gen had mostly shit that wasn't inspired by real world animals, objects, and mythological figures? Just because something is bipedal doesn't mean it is "unrealistic" for the Pokemon world, or your argument fails for the first four gens as well.

Oh wait, you can't, because you don't play Pokemon.

you absolutely can and the series is only getting more and more specific with its inspirations

>a bee fly (I'll admit losing its proboscis was lame)
>a reverse diving bell spider
>a mata mata turtle

True, but it usually applies to pre-evos since those usually are made to appeal to girls and to look more friendly.

You can see it reflected in the legendary choices.

Gen 1
Mew - mouse
Mewtwo - mutated mouse
Legendary birds
Pseudo legendary - Dragon

Gen 2
Celebi - spacie shit like Clefairy; literally a fairy
Legendary dogs
Pseudo legendary - stone dino beast

I don't much like the gen 2 dex.

Gen 3
Deoxys - some DNA goop thing because space
Jirachi - another space fairy
Rayquaza - dragon
Kyogre - whale
Groudon - big lizard
Legendary duo - dragons

Gen 4
Dialga and Palkia - space dragons
Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit - weird fairy shit
Manaphy - water sprite thing
Giratina - dragon
Regis - elements

The downhill ball really picks up speed in this generation. A bunch of weird spacie shit, and dragons; and spacie dragons.

Gen 5
Vicinti - chipmunk thing
Legendary deer? - deer things
Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem - dragons
Landorus, Thunderous, Tornadus - genie shit with fucked looking animal forms
Genesect - robobug

Gen 5 reeled it back in, to it's credit.

I'm sick of typing, so I'll conclude that gens 6 and 7 are at least attempting to bring it back to animals with their legendary pokemon. We had 3 solid generations of weird space fairy shit and just dragons. However, overly flamboyant designs are still creeping their way into the game. Lycanroc midnight form almost looks like a decent pokemon design, but they just had to give it retarded eyes; it's like they can't help themselves.

>>33516891
Well I loved Spewpa and Vivillon was alright, but I was just bored with the gen's designs as a bugfag, since all it ended up being was yet another lepidopteran line among a series with several already and outside of the nice trading gimmick, it was just that, a regular cartoon butterfly, which I had with Butterfree.

What does that have to do with their visual designs? The mythical backstory is slapped on afterwards. You can lump Celebi, Jirachi, Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit, and Manaphy into one category called "fairy looking shit". They all have matching proportions and I wouldn't be shocked to find them all drawn from the same base form. It's shit, you fucking retard.

The fact that they're visually inspired by mythological figures? For fucks sakes, anon, this isn't rocket science. You could list almost any legendary and I could explain the reasoning behind its design. Your argument is garbage and you've embarrassed yourself.

It was only a matter of time before your argument devolved to this shit. There's nothing about the fairy trash legendary pokemons' visual design that has any basis on real mythical stories. They're literally generic shit with a back story stapled on after the fact. No amount of your own autism can change that.

I posted a full list of legendary pokemon with garbage designs.

Here's your main problem, you fucking retard. You conflate the backstory with the pokemon as justification for its visual design. You actually believe that the design of something like Jirachi, the way it that it looks to your eyeballs, has some basis in real mystical stories. It doesn't. The designs of these pokemon is generic, chibi fairy garbage. After that chibi, fairy garbage design is finished, they then grab a real mystical story and retool it to suit the chibi, fairy garbage pokemon that they drew.

Once again, I'm telling you that the visual design of these pokemon is uninspired shit. I'm sure that you'll, once again, tell me something complete irrelevant about how the backstory was inspired by something real; because you're an illiterate fucking retard.

>anthropomorphic
Elaborate, use examples instead of throwing around buzzwords.
>they were part of the worldbuilding, not 'look at this cool new wacky pokemon design.'
Literally fucking wrong. You know how they picked the first 151 pokemon? They had a bunch of different designs by different artists and they voted which ones they liked the most. They just picked whatever the fuck they thought it was cool.If anything they are more deliberate with they worldbuilding now.
And digimon always had more attempts at realistic monsters than pokemon ever had. Go compare agumon and charmander and tell me which one looks like it actually has muscles and organs.

When all you do is get easy victories against novice kids and a duo of idiots who once lost to a single Caterpie it's no surprise he got overwhelmed and either gave up ot got himself killed.

Anon, if you think everyone in the thread is wrong, maybe you should stop for a moment and consider what the common factor is.

what is even being argued ITT
I don't even think the people that are shitflinging even know
>>
>>33517023
No.

First Pokemon designed was Rhyhorn. This is also why so many Gen 1 Pokemon resemble Rhyhorn. (Toriyama eyes, dinosaur-esque.)
>>
>>33517023
They also include transitional stages such as cocoons, which is wonderful.

>Buzzwole and Pheromosa are considered to be minor legendaries in the game code like all the other UBs, the Tapu, and any other minor legend group
>in the game code
What does this mean? How does the game differentiate between legendaries, minor legendaries and regular Pokemon?
>>
>>33517043
Some anon claimed that the legendary pokemon were just random shapes and had no inspiration from mythology or other sources in their design, and proceeded to tard out when he revealed he didn't know much about pokemon.

This whole thread is about how the pokemon look, not their make believe backstories. You fucking idiots have nothing defend most of these garbage designs, and so you've spent the whole thread citing the conceptual inspiration of these pokemon and ignoring what they actually resemble.

It's irrelevant that Mew's backstory is that it's some DNA amalgamation mutant. It's looks like a fucking mouse. Do you get it yet?

>>33517038
> visual design...because they design a monster and then just think well let´s just say it´s themed of a god of water???????

>>33517036
They are not making 1:1, just make slight references. It´s a purple mecha, which was prior a lifeform and it´s shiny is red.

same with Bisharp that´s a reference to megaman and zero. Look at the shinies.

>>33517037
eh mostly philosophers stone. Because take life and give life. But yeah Gen 7 resembles a lot more.
>>
>>33517046
Legendaries are denoted to be the mascot trios/main legends and mythicals.
Sublegends are most anything else legendary.
Outside of the game code that was datamined, you can see this in SM with the color coded dex, normal is blue, sublegend is green, legend is gold.

I pointed out that gens 2-4 are filled with generic fairy shit pokemon that all look alike. These retards proceeded to tell me about their deepest lore backstories while completely ignoring that they indeed all look alike and are generic fairy shit designs.

Yes, that's exactly what they do. There's likely a base design and then they add some simple frills and bullshit to suit the selected lore.

>mew is a mouse
and nobody said it´s wrong you idiot. You said that mewtwo is a mutated mouse and now you are saying that nobody cares about stupid backstories.

But if this looks to you more like a mutated mouse than a mutant than it´s ok and yeah it´s nice how you don´t have any other argument besides

>>33517027
legendaries are fantastical designs. arguing what they imply about the design philosophies of their generations is meaningless. the reason they were more effective was because of the simplicity of more common designs in earlier gens. having rattatas and pidgeys running around makes the ho-oh flying overhead that much more special. back then, "common" really meant common, and "rare" meant rare. of course, simple but iconic designs are not easy to make, which pokemon had.
>>
>>33517060
>Mew is a mouse
>Mewtwo is a fucked up clone of Mew

That was really hard, anon; I can see why you didn't understand it.

Oh my, is somebody realizing that the visual direction in these games is complete shit?

thanks mods

Are you serious? Do you honestly think this is what happens? Of course some of the designs are random generic trash, but saying all of them are just shows that you're misinformed.
>>
Since when are pokemon threads not anymore allowed on /v/ for fucks sake?!

>>33517064
Pokemon still have common or simple designs. People act like crazy, because the pokemon they caught from fucking 20 years ago was different than one made in this year.

And the difference between a legendary and a route 1 mon is still there.
>>
>>33516794
All 3 S/M starters look like rancid ass.

Owl fuck looks like it was drawn by an elementary school child.

The catman is is literally a cats head on a man's body.

The mermaid is visually offensive all around. Shit color scheme, shit details.

>>33517118
The visual design is 90% off of a generic base with ACCESSORY details tailored to some deepest lore shit.

Hence why people say that these designs look like shit; shit that a retard like yourself will hungrily lap up because it's also cutesy shit.

>>33517133
look for version difference in pokemon. But I thought white 2 better with the tree and you actually can catch pokemon, when you have friends or hack.
Else I don´t think it´s matter that much. But if you want heracross in team, you can only catch him in black 2
>>
>>33517127
>50% of the space of the design = 10%
I'm not arguing over whether it's a good design, that's subjective as fuck. My point is you're being fucking disingenuous if you say its design comes out of nowhere.
>>
>>33517154
>all these pokemon look alike

Nigger, for real?

Okay then anon, what SHOULD a pokemon based off shooting stars and Tanabata look like?

It could start with not looking like 5 other pokemon.

It mews. It refers to the sound a kitten makes, connecting to its size and cat-like appearance.
Mice don't mew. They squeak.

>You can't say new Pokemon have animal designs

Really? Say that to the new stilt owl, lion, bat, tiger, triggerfish, and many other designs from gen 7. If we want to stretch back into gen 5 when all this shit peaked we can say that there was a deer, a stargazer, a toad, an otter, a snake, a boar, a housecat, three monkeys, a horse, and that's just a few. Gen 6 had a frog, a fox, some birds, a fucking tyrannosaurus rex, a lion, a dog, a panda, a goat, etc. Your argument doesn't hold up.
>>

BEASTS not cats.

I wonder if people will feel the same if generation 1 was introduced years later, there will probably be tons of haters.
